A midsized rear-ported bookshelf, featuring a 5.25” low-frequency transducer and a folded motion high frequency transducer, which MartinLogan claims replicates much of the performance of their high-end elecrostatic speakers. May need to be paired with a subwoofer if sub-60Hz bass is a priority.

Good tower speakers for a starter system. The Polk T50s are known for punchy bass and and overall warm sound. Even though they are not ported, they can be sensitive to room placement, so experiment with positioning.

Note: the above comparisons are based on the dimensions of a bounding rectangle that would fit the front face of a speaker.

These measurements do not take into account variations in the speaker shape, such as curves, diagonal edges, or cutaways. These measurements cannot be relied upon to measure the internal volume of the speaker.
